Accuracy and notes
Accuracy notes
Visual-marker tracking can exhibit larger pose-error peaks than laser tracking.
Reference notes
Independent fixed-camera marker tracking. Basler Scout scA640 cameras belong to this external reference network rather than the onboard sensor suite.

Accuracy and notes
Reference notes
Independent fixed-laser tracking requires a visible, well-defined robot profile and can be affected by occlusion in cluttered spaces.

Parameters only

Processed calibration parameters are reported, but raw calibration data is not reported.

Notes

Onboard sensor calibration and the intrinsic/extrinsic calibration of the external ground-truth camera and laser networks are documented; raw calibration sequences are not established by the reviewed source.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Indoor ground truth covers only subsets of the explored areas and varies by location and reference-system visibility.

Visual-marker ground truth requires reasonably uniform illumination and can exhibit larger pose-error peaks than laser ground truth.

Laser ground truth estimates planar 3DoF pose and requires a visible, well-defined robot profile; occlusion in cluttered spaces can favor the camera system.
